Why China’s Land Grab in Bhutan Threatens India | WSJ 

The dark-horse alliance racing forward to take on China: on.wsj.com/3UvYbw0

Now i understand why WSJ just decided to move its asia headquarter from Hong Kong to Singapore 🌝

Will China claim the moon when it lands there?

Oh yeah, same story with the Philippines, first they built their so called "fisherman shelter" and then they reclaim the shoal then started to own the place.

when the neighbouring country randomly starts building villages on your land.......

"Gatekeep. Gaslight. Girlboss." - old Chinese proverb

the indians better move up there quick before china becomes a bigger issue for them lol

someone please save bhutan they are a beautiful country and dont deserve this

Chinese paid keyboard warriors trying to damage control 😂

Bhutanese stand up ⬆️✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻

Never ever trust them. Never

CHINA claiming all 🤣🤣🤣

China borders 14 countries and have border disputes with 17 countries (both land and sea) 😂

Winnie the pooh needs to chill.

chineese bots are activated very fast

China's greed is on a different level. You'd think being one of the biggest country in the world will make them satisfied 😢

I plan to publish an Encyclopedia of Chinese Border Disputes and Claims if only I can get it down to 84 beautiful terabytes.

Chinese bots in full swing 😂

It's alarming how fast China is expanding 🌏

Now I understand why India is supporting Southeast Asia esp. the Philippines when it comes to dealing with China's territorial agression.

Human greed at its finest

chineese bots be crazy

I thought the Bhutan government stated that China has not taken their territory and it was India who raised the question.

Today is Wednesday, keyword: threatens (Monday, Wednesday, Friday)

Arunachal pradesh is integral part of India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

Tiananmen Square and winnie the pooh

Thats why we call XiJinping a thief!

What about China’s new base in Sihanoukville, a port city in Cambodia on the Gulf of Thailand? China is everywhere.

greedy Chinese.

chinese bots everywhere😆😆😆

However, India should make its voice heard more in those areas. In my neck of the woods they say appetite comes with eating. I would not want China to encroach too much in those areas. I prefer Bhutan protected by India than under Chinese control.

The most beautiful, peaceful, "gross national happiness-before-gross national product" kingdom in the world has to deal with this. Please take care of them India.

China 🇨🇳, they'll bring the world map and draw the dashes

Bhutan should merge with Nepal to be Butty & Nepals 🤷‍♀️

Those heartless Chinese don't have the right to claim over the Bhutanese territory.Bhutan will never be under them. One day or the other every Chinese citizen will bear the suffering of what they had caused to other. Remember there's no one who escape from cause and effect. It's time for govt to take action.

It's interesting to see a British expert explain the land disputes around Asia. They have some great insights, considering the British were the ones who drew up these borders on a whim 150 years ago.

Let not forget how China take Tibet, if the nation refuses China's request.

I suprise the chine Philosophy of capturing new lands of their neighbouring countries.

Bhutan needs to merge themeselves with INDIA, thats the last chance

10yr old Chinese kid:- papa this whole world belongs to us.. Dad: how?? Kid:- i have seen world map in Chinese geography text book 📕 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

China has always done lowly things but taking advantage of such a country which doesn't even have an army and have always lived peacefully is a new level of low.

China may illegally occupy but Bhutan will never give up claim to that region🇮🇳❤️🇧🇹

I love WSJ, my favorite RU-vid channel ❤

We cannot talk about Bhutan without talking about Sikkim. Like Bhutan, Sikkim was an independent Himalayan Buddhist kingdom many hundreds of years old and a neighbor of China. Sikkim was briefly overrun by the Nepalese Gorkhas during the 18th century. The Sikkim king fled to China and asked for help. The then Qianlong emperor dispatched an expedition force to Sikkim and expelled the Gorkhas and restored Sikkim's sovereignty and independence. Sikkim was left unmolested for the rest of its history until it was gobbled up by the artificial country India in 1975. Chinese of older generations were taught that Sikkim was one of China's neighbors. Even student in Taiwan (Republic of China) were taught Sikkim was one of China's neighbors until a couple of decades ago. Bhutan is very similar to Sikkim in terms of ethnicity, language, religion and culture and history, only that it is bigger. Bhutan is in a precarious situation right now because it is the next low hanging fruit in India's expansionism and is currently militarily occupied by India. The reason I wrote this here is to educate the people in the world what is going on in that part of the world and stop indulging India, a country that is up to no good.

Remember!! not just for India, the red China is issue for everyone. TAIWAN!!! **cough** **cough**

China claims it owns those areas in ancient times.

Wow! the development looks like luxury bungalow houses being built, I hope to get one if can.

It seems to be a trend of China's massive militarisation. Almost every border of neighbours, even on the sea, Chinese military is rapidly militarising. The only neighbour it doesn't militarise... is Russia, but that wasn't a surprise given Russia's status as China's minor partner.

Few months ago, Indian bots were saying that Muizzu's "India Out" stance has backfired, implying that he will lose in the Maldives election of April 2024, on all social medias. Fast forward today, "Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu's party has won 71 of 93 seats in a landslide victory in parliamentary elections.".... LANDSLIDE VICTORY. Looks like winning 71 out of 93 seat is an indication that Muizzu's "India Out" stance has really "backfired"😆🤭😏

Free Tibet from all Indian occupations now!

Aye why is there a dash line in Arunchal what is WSJ trying to say

I will support Bhutan 🇧🇩❤️🇧🇹

Ofcourse, China owns everything that those tiny eyes can reach. All hail Winnie Xi the overlord master of galaxy!

Good-old British professor just can’t get over with the mess their empire left over everywhere.

Top 3 most greedy nation on earth. 1. China 2. Russia 3. North Korea

Well that is one way to avoid unfair trade tariffs

At 0:59 India's eastern state arunachal pradesh is misrepresented as if not part of India. It's regretful to see such uninformed and unverified information put up by content creator

Why Bhutan leader were silence when construction going on

China detonated their first hydrogen bomb on midair, dated 17 June 1967 and prior to that, had done an atomic bomb detonation dated 16 October 1964.

Gave up the security council to china out of some misplaced sense of brotherly love, couldn't protect Tibet when it mattered .And now this , the first leaders really messed it up

Fact is CCP would like to expand into everywhere as far as actions have shown.

The US should stop supporting Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan and begin spending for the border security and for own people.

India out❤

Two out of the best 3 space agencies of the World (Russia/USA/China) said India did not land on Moon's South Pole. 1) NASA specifically said "The Chandrayaan-3 landing site is located about 600 kilometers from the Moon’s South Pole.". This is just another diplomatic way of saying India did not land on Moon's South Pole. If India had landed on on Moon's South Pole, NASA would have simply said that "The Chandrayaan-3 landing site is located at the Moon’s South Pole" instead of "The Chandrayaan-3 landing site is located about 600 KILOMETERS FROM the Moon’s South Pole. 2) Dr Ouyang Ziyuan, lauded as the father of China’s lunar exploration programme, told the Chinese-language Science Times newspaper that the Chandrayaan-3 landing site, at 69 degrees south latitude, was nowhere close to the pole, defined as between 88.5 and 90 degrees.

How is China allowed to build on other countries???

I am not surprised by this. Unfortunately 😑

Bhutan's best bet is an explicit alliance with India

India invaded Sikkim, which is adjacent to Bhutan, and annexed it entirely in 1975. For Bhutan, their greater fear is India.

Bhutan can take cue from Modi that no bhutan land is lost during Modi rule😂

Slow and steady

Who is controlling Bhutan now? Whoever controls Nepal and Sikkim, China will help these 3 countries to become independent

Bhutanese ❤ from India.

Why don't talk about India who has control airspace and land and Manny more from Nepal can you talk or show the world Nepali board and airspace??

India has encroached Nepal’s territories too on the southern border, international bodies should focus on this matter too 🙏🏼

Bhutan doesn’t want to be the next Sikkim. 😂

India nuclear testing video evidence of 11 May 1998 Pokhran is too weak to be even considered "nuclear". 🤭

In India we're currently busy with elections. We are currently using divide and rule policy and don't want our citizens to know what's really happening because it will hinder election results

Will the Anglo Saxons leave the land of the Irish people 😂😂😂

I don't know that.

Yeah, if you leave the Chinese unchecked, they take everything

When China does it it's called land grab. When Israel does it it's called land expropriation. Regarding accusations of land grab against Israel as "antisemitic" is not hypocritical AT ALL!

"that look like military installations" . . .

*NOTE: Many of the comments here are from Chinese government sponsored trollbots*

Oh lemme guess… China originally owns the land of Bhutan since ancient times. 😂 🤦

Same tactic China is using on South China Sea. I remembered a TV Series I watch when I was a kid where the lead character asked the Mongolian Khan, "Of all the expansion you are doing, how much land do you need to bury your corpse?" After 5000 years of history, China still has not learnt all. Look at the Roman, how great was it to have one man ruled all?

It's amazing how dictators are incapable of not grabbing land that isn't theirs.

Большое спасибо за ваш труд

Bhutan does not want to end up like Sikkim.

Countries need to coordinate efforts to counter China's expansionist aggression.

Video’s title should have have been “how is china expanding into Bhutan” Everyone knows why they are doing it

But you don't see Jews ' rapid settlement expansion in Palestine

Bhutan is an independent country, free to cooperate with whom it wishes. India has no right to interfere.

Bhutan wants sovereign for itself from india

This is game of football ...you cant just defend whole field which just few players . You have to attack also . So indians or bhutanese need to grab chinese land in return because you cant put soldier on 1000km long border with china which is situation in high mpuntains

not surprised

Nothing New all in the Public domain already. Bhutan King was in New Delhi a few months ago regarding this after visiting Beijing. WSJ come on don't lag 6month behind.

Bhutan govt has said no Chinese villages in their territory. Don't take my words, just google, PM Tshering denies Chinese villages built in Bhutan.

Wsj an American geo political mouth piece

That is their style.
